Abstract:

Part of the logic of Kantianism is that we know in advance of meeting the world a priori what anything we meet can essentially and necessarily and universally be. The categories of pure reason define the essential forms of that which counts as reasonable put it, "the a priori conditions of a possible experience in general are at the same time conditions of the possibility of objects of experiences." Differently put, the categories of pure reason construct objects in light of their own forms. The world becomes a reflection of the universality and necessity that I presume myself to already embody. This is the logic, of course, of colonialism. It is also the logic of the preemptive strike. Since I create reality by acting, I already know in advance what the world ought to think of such acting.
